How We Partner With Designers to Seamlessly Integrate Technology
Great design doesn’t stop at beautiful finishes—it’s also how a space works. At Epic Systems Tech, we collaborate with interior designers and architects to integrate lighting, shades, audio, video, control, and networking so everything feels intentional, effortless, and on-brand for your client.
Our Designer-First Process
1) Concept & scope
Bring us in during programming or schematic design. We’ll align on use cases (scenes, zones, privacy, energy, acoustics) and client priorities, then outline the right platforms for the budget and timeline.
2) Plan review & markups
We provide device schedules, risers, and rough-in notes (low-voltage, power, backboxes, soffits, shade pockets), so your drawings anticipate tech from the start—no last-minute compromises.
3) Infrastructure done right
We coordinate with GC/EC for prewire, networking, ventilation/clearances for gear, and future expansion pathways—so your client can add features later without rework.
4) Aesthetics above all
We specify trims, keypads, grille finishes, shade fascias, and control interfaces that match your palette. The goal: technology that disappears until it’s needed.
5) Commissioning, training, and support
We deliver scenes, hand your client a simple control story, and provide documentation and after-care so you never have to be the help desk.
Design-Forward Solutions You Can Specify
Smart lighting that supports your mood and materials
We design Lutron lighting that elevates stone, wood, textiles, and art while making everyday living easier. Scene presets can handle morning, entertaining, or bedtime with one tap. Learn more: Smart Lighting Design & Installation. (Epic Systems)
Motorized shades with architectural detailing
We coordinate pockets, recesses, fascias, and fabrics early so sightlines stay clean and sun control is automatic. See options: Motorized Blinds & Shades. (Epic Systems)
Natural-language voice control (that clients actually use)
With Josh.ai, clients say “Good morning” and the home responds—lights warm up, shades rise, and music starts—without clunky scenes or rigid phrasing. Explore: Josh.ai at Epic. (Epic Systems)
Whole-home audio that blends into the room
From invisible speakers to outdoor zones, we build systems clients love to live with. Brand-safe, reliable, and easy. Overview: Sonos Audio Solutions. (Epic Systems)
Flexible control that ties it all together
Prefer a tactile keypad over an app? We’ll design Control4 scenes that feel natural to the space—one button for “Entertain,” another for “All Off.” Read more: Control4 in New Jersey. (Epic Systems)
